| 'Speaking of action figures I find it kind of scary because I know what I was like when I was a kid. I used to feed my action figures to the squids that were off of the bay I lived near. I tore off their arms and replaced them with other limbs, stuck them with pins, freezed them and did other awful things to them. Nothing struck me as more weird than to walk into my trailer and see a full-blown punching bag of myself. That's probably going to be a prize possession for a few people that I know. There's some unnerving moments.' 'I'm not a kid. You don't get in this business for anonymity. It's not like I have posters of myself on the wall, but at the same time, I'm kind of ready for a little bit of it (fame). But I worry for my litlle one and my family (their privacy). That's what I'm more protective of.' 'I think I was 5 and singing 'Camelot' on stage. It was always a good way to meet girls. I did musicals, plays. My school encouraged it. We did our own productions. it wasn't until I was about 23 that I thought 'I could give this a shot. I might as well do it.'. I was a little slow on the uptake.' 'Becoming a father, I think it inevitably changes your perspective of life. I don't get nearly enough sleep. And the simplest things in life are completely satisfying. I find you don't have to do as much, like you don't go on as many outings. Before that, we'd go on holiday here and there. Apart from working, I'm just so happy to get home. I do a day's work and I miss him like crazy.' 'I have a terrific marriage. But unlike a lot of relationships where they ebb and flow, no matter what happens you fall deeper and deeper in love every day. It's kinf of the best thing that can happen to you. It's thrilling.' 'I miss having the claws. But I have a little scar on my hand and there is a bigger one on my knee. With those nine inch claws, I was getting a little dangerous.' 'There was a whole display set up of all the X-men paraphernalia. My wife couldn't resist telling a 5-year old boy that I was Wolverine. The little kid looked up at me and when he was staring at me. His father was kind of batting him away, saying 'You're Wolverine! So tell me about it. When's the movie coming out? This is great. I've been waiting...I mean, my son has been waiting for so long!'. So I was kind of focusing on the kid and I said 'So you watch X-men?'. He goes 'Yeah'. I said 'Who's your favourite character?'. The child's response? Cyclops.' On the love triangle between Wolverine, Jean and Cyclops: 'It's explored. Who wouldn't want her? She's kinda hot. It definitely explores Wolverine's flirtier side. Sometimes it's hard to tell whether he is genuinely really attracted or whether he enjoys flirting or whether he just enjoys pissing Cyclops off. It's probably a mixture of all three. The relationship with Jean Grey, it is sexual and he is sexually attracted, but he also really likes her. I mean in a friendly sort of way. It all hovers in there.' |
